How would Rodney McKay treat you?

[burntcopper]

megolas had this convo with me as I was expressing my feedback joy and she was trying to not-do her not-dissertation whilst I was walking to the tube from work.

Rodney would hold us in contempt. Unless we managed to weasel ourselves out of it. :g:

Meg's degree? It may say BSc, but that is part anthropological, with a heavy portion of literary. *Soft* sciences. She'd have to take over the networks and comms systems and lie through her teeth about the anthro side.

Me? I have no hope of redemption. Not only is my degree an art degree, not only am I heavily into anthropology, archaeology and so on, but... I'm by nature a biologist. I understand chemistry up to a point. GCSE level. Same with maths. (most of which I've forgotten) I got kicked out of maths 'A' level six weeks in. Physics? When I was *being forced to actually study it* I could only just remember the speed equation. Biology has always been my geeking subject.

Then Meg pointed out that Rodney would like me at first, at least superficially.

Me : ?
:brain clicks into gear:
Me : Oh my god. I'm blonde and I have decent tits.

Yup. Not just contempt but contempt with a side order of 'dumb blonde'. Maybe I could flatten him with the sheer amount of white noise I can generate.

At work, Jo from Editorial Assistant area was showing around a new girl. Got to our area. 'These are Editorial Production, and they deal with the authors after we've finished with them.'
Turns to me. 'This is Heather. Her job is getting the articles live and shouting at us if we get the formatting wrong.'
Me, raising an eyebrow, since I have never shouted. The only thing I shout at is the computer when it won't load. I just send sarcastic emails to them. 'I also make coffee.'
'She's a sci-fi fanatic.'
'True.'

And then they were off, leaving me still with eyebrow raised. I swear, no-one else got introed like that. So, my rep in Ed Asst section is 'scary and into sci-fi'. Hmm. Maybe this explains why they're always horribly apologetic and begging in their emails and requests when they've forgotten something.

Rodney would not actively despise me, but that's only because he wouldn't notice I existed.

And this is why you shall team up with Miko and run the black market under his nose.

Not just contempt but contempt with a side order of 'dumb blonde'.

Not that anyone who talked to you for more than 5 seconds would be able to think of you as dumb.

Unless those 5 seconds were shortly after the Maskerade at DWCon04....

Everyone's dumb in comparison to Rodney.

And being high and bouncy isn't the same thing. :scowls: Even if Tors did have to take my wallet away from me.

Even if Tors did have to take my wallet away from me.

It was for your own safety... <g>

Memememememy:

1. 'fuck thewlis'. Because, yes. Also, 'rose boobs', and 'weighed', because they're just fab.
2. 'the glorious 25th of may'. Probably just because it means nothing to me.
3. 'doing laundry'
4. 'pigtails geek' and 'the glorious 25th of may'
5. 'just be a good boy', 'grin says it all', and 'door'

1. :polishes nails on shirt: of course they are, darling.
2. Discworld, Nightwatch, they wear lilac in commemoration of a particular day, like poppies. Watch for those who use an icon with lilacs or 'how do they rise' on it and you'll find the pratchett fans.
3. It's OZ. The pair of them are actually doing their laundry, they snog for the first time about two seconds after that. (after several weeks of Chris coming onto Toby with the subtlety of a house-worth of bricks and Toby acting like a scared bunny.)
4. probably because I use pigtails very very rarely and 25th of may is *only* for that day.
5. ah, some of my longest lasting ones...

2. Ohhhhhhh. I didn't remember that.
3. Aha. Another one of those shows that I should add to my dvd rental queue, yes?

it's heavy on the violence and rape. Emphasis on the word 'heavy'. But very pretty. They believe in nekkidness, full-frontal, and boys kissing and groping on-screen. Also drugs, people going nuts from mental torture and bad treatment, and large amounts of death. But from s2 onwards, it is also the Chris/Toby soap of 'let's see how badly we can fuck each other up and be co-dependent in the unhealthiest way possible'. (also see the Lord of the Dance, Ryan O'Reilly in the icon)

It's very pretty. It's HBO.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeexcellent!

But, but... *pokes Screenselect* Is it not out on DVD? I can't find it!
